HARRY POTTER GETS fashionable? In the forthcoming celluloid outing for the young wizard, he‘ll be wearing cloaks made from material designed by Celia Birtwell. The London- based designer was visited at her boutique by the film’s set designers who thought her ‘History’ fabric - red velvet with stars and moons - would be perfect. The designer hasn’t read any of the books but is apparently looking forward to seeing her fabric on screen.

Bring a little metalwork into your home.

‘People tend to focus on that iSSLie rather than the work,‘ says Meg Hamilton, one ot nine members of all women designerzwelder collective ArcAngels. Fellow-welder Ali Pickard continues the train ot thought: ‘I

think they focused on that more when we first started out; it was very much "welding chicks? t et's go and have a look". But quite a lot of people know about us now and so they look beyond that]

Meeting on courses at Telford College and winning European funding to encourage women to become involved in non—traditional skills. ArcAngels came into being. Still utilising the college‘s engineering workshop. they create a diverse range of products. from candlesticks to tables and chairs.‘ l here's such a WHO range of techniques. we can't cover all bases.‘ says Hamilton. 'We're still learning, and ‘.'/III he tor the next ten years.‘

With designs ranging from El 5 photo frames up to $71000 commissions. Arc/\ngels is producing wine of the most creative metalwork around, but is keen to make sure it actually ends up in people's homes. ‘We tiy and always have a complete range because good design should be available to everyone] says Pickard. Ideally. they'd like their own workshop. but the equipment and transport is expensive. so that’s an ongoing project. Meantime. their exhibition runs for a month. so there's plenty of time to £l<;(ltlll(: a taste lot
